MARKETING, COMMUNICATION & BEHAVIOR TRACK
In today’s world, consumers are constantly receiving multiple messages. No matter in which direction we turn, an ad is trying to sell us something: from a new political party to an up and coming social media platform; from the hottest Netflix series to a jeans brand. You name it… Thousands of messages blur our vision as audiences and consumers are more resilient to such messages. Engaging audiences and understanding the brand customer journey in a world of clutter is one of the greatest challenges for the current generation of Marketing Communication professionals. Behavioral science is critical to understanding why humans react to certain messages the way that they do and the optimal way to influence change in consumer behavior. Getting a message across in the world of content saturation and being able to engage in a conversation with audiences will be the central theme of the “Marketing Communication and Behavior” summer course.
MARKETING, COMMUNICATION & BEHAVIOR TRACK TENTATIVE AGENDA
LAW, ECONOMICS & INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS TRACK
As the globalization of the world economy erodes national borders, people and countries are more interconnected and interdependent than ever. The world is currently experiencing a moment of unprecedented change, accelerated by advances in technology and artificial intelligence. Terrorism, pandemics, climate change, poverty, human rights violations, financial crises, and migration are all global challenges that no state alone can address independently. These issues present multiple economic, political and legal dimensions that are intertwined and can only be solved together. This track will explore how all stakeholders, whether governments, multinational corporations, or civil society must cooperate in order to overcome the global challenges of the 21st century.
